In this activity, learners use objects they find on a nature and water to make creative frozen sculptures.

In this activity, learners try to float ink on the surface of water to create a pattern and then capture it with absorbent paper.

In this activity, learners discover that some plastics will shrink when you get them hot. Learners bake polystyrene in a regular oven and discover what happens.

In this activity, learners transform everyday milk into small plastic figurines and jewelry. Use this activity to introduce learners to monomers and polymers.

In this activity, learners explore how pens have been engineered and re-engineered over time. Learners work as a team to develop a working pen out of everyday items.

This activity requires a Pico Cricket (tiny computer).

In this activity, learners thread gumdrops together to make a model of a polymer.

In this activity, learners will discover how to make butter from scratch. One optional tips includes adding marbles to speed up the process.

This activity was designed for blind learners, but all types of learners can explore the process used to cast and mold molten metal, glass, and plastics.

In this activity, learners investigate the basic crystal structures that metal atoms form.

Learners assemble a hot-air balloon from tissue paper. The heated air (from a heat gun) inside the balloon is less dense than the surrounding air and causes the balloon to float.

In this activity, learners build a hot air balloon using just a few sheets of tissue paper and a hair dryer.

In this creative roleplay activity, learners will explore the various processes of the carbon cycle using movement and props to aid in comprehension.

In this activity, learners build mini-basketball courts and explore the laws of physics. Learners discover that everything you throw or shoot on earth travels in a parabola.

In this activity on page 8 of the PDF, learners make a slimy substance very similar to mucus, and sprinkle it with glitter to imitate the way that allergens are trapped.

Molecular gastronomy is the scientific study of food preparation. Learners use self-assembly techniques to create edible capsules of chocolate syrup (food grade ingredients are required).

In this activity (pages 13-14), learners investigate the properties of smart materials, which are materials that respond to things that happen around them.
